With today's games 500 Gb gets full very quickly.

I'd recommend 4 Tb if you can.

Max I can get is 1TB cuz I dont have to much money rn. Also I dont plan on getting to much games. Only the battlefield redsec and DCS and some smaller games

Sata SSD is just forget it and buy a mechanic drive.

And if you truly going to benefit M2 SSD which is installed as an internal harddrive.

If you have free NVME slot then get NVME SSD and would really not bother with less then 2TB these days. Easier to install since you don`t need to mess with cables and faster.
For the most part SATA SSD is still fine for gaming though.

both 2Tb and 4Tb is pretty good price point at the moment - sounds like you currently have a 500gb nvme and free SATA ports?

It is far easier to just get the SATA ssd as your add-on storage for games, and yes should work just fine. Yes nmve is of course faster but so you want to upgrade to 1Tb you have to find a way to clone or install OS fresh, that is up to you. Personally I can't tell the difference, and if you were doing workstation-level stuff like editing, yes sticking with nvme would probably be better.

If you live in the U.S., wait for the Black Friday sales around Thanksgiving (usually the day after Thanksgiving - November 28). I would suggest no less than 2TB these days.

Heck, with today's OS 500 GB already fills up fast. And then you haven't even installed any games.

These days you are lucky if it`s 50GB and not 150GB.

The more storage the better even if you don't plan on using it.... you will in the long run

nope.....i have 4.25tb with a 2tb gen 4, 1tb gen 3, 2 512gb and a 250gb sata drives.....i have not filled it all in last 10 years.....FYI im still using my samsung 250gb as a OS drive and its from 2014.....

Keep in mind a few fundamentals:

It highly depends on which interface the drive is being plugged into. They have to match in capacity or else there can be massive waste.

For games, load times aren't as completely dependent on how fast one can pull from the drive as they used to be.

Faster drives are better for faster boot times- but not as decisive as the speeds might suggest. Diminishing returns are a real issue.

The good old HD is far better for large amounts of data writing and they are better for secure file shredding. Consider putting files such as documents, pictures, music, downloads, video... on one or two of(external?) them. Perhaps plug one in at all times, get another in another color, store the other in a safe and rotate them.

2 tb sata hdd should cost $20-30 used.

Whats your budget? sometimes there are good sales and you can grab one with 45% discount.

Keep the 500 and get the 1000. Then you will have 1500.
